The Greek synth duo Paradox Obscur, comprised of Kriistal Ann and Toxic Razor, has just released their new single, “Switch To Love,” available today, June 7th, 2025. This captivating track is the second single from their upcoming album, IKONA, which is set for release on September 12th via Metropolis Records.

“Switch To Love” is accompanied by an atmospheric neo-noir music video, shot entirely on 16mm film and directed by Venezuelan filmmaker Mariangela Pluchino, with cinematography by Ville Piippo from Finland. The result is a visually compelling piece that pays homage to love, set against the band’s signature retro synthwave soundscape and elevated by the expressive and haunting vocals of Kriistal Ann.

“Switch To Love” follows their late April release, “Lose This Feeling,” a dreamily nostalgic synth-oriented reinterpretation of a 2023 dance anthem by Dutch DJ and producer Armin van Buuren.

IKONA is the duo’s most expressionistic work to date, blending sound experiments, wide-ranging electronic influences, and deeply personal expression to craft a sonic identity that remains distinctly their own. They have once again composed and recorded in real time using synthesizers and drum machines, preserving the classic essence of contemporary electronic music while forging a uniquely timeless aesthetic.

Paradox Obscur is celebrated for their authentic, analog-driven sound. Eschewing computers and digital plugins, they create all of their music in real time using hardware synthesizers and drum machines, delivering a raw and immersive listening experience. While rooted in the spirit of ‘80s-’90s underground music, their unique blend of haunting melodies, driving rhythms, and cinematic atmosphere appeals to a wide range of listeners, regardless of genre preference. Their music transcends commercial boundaries, offering something for both devoted electronic fans and casual listeners alike.
